nashville: Pre-Coffee Decision Making is BAD!!! - 03/05/09 08:16 AM
I woke up a little grouchy today. Ok, I woke up so grouchy nobody wanted to talk to me. It’s difficult when you wake up with a million things running through your head. The little bit of sleep I did get wasn’t all that sound either. I remember at one point dreaming about work…not fun! If I’m going to dream I would much rather dream about lying on a beach (or playing music near the beach).
As I drank my coffee, and slowly began coming out of my grumpiness, I started to think about how our perspectives on things are … (0 comments)

nashville: Arrington Vineyards...another Jem of nearby Nashville - 02/16/09 08:35 PM
Valentine's Day was such a wonderful day for me. The highlight was a surprise visit to a truly hidden jem near Nashville called Arrington Vineyards.
Although I'm no connoisseur, I do enjoy trying new wines, especially when they are made close to home. Arrington Vineyards was founded in 2005 by country superstar, Kix Brooks (Brooks & Dunn) along with Fred Mindermann and winemaker Kip Summers.
As for my experience, here's the summary: Valentine's Day was special in more ways than one. Although food is not normally served at the vineyard, we purchased the Valentine's Day package, including food catered in by … (0 comments)

nashville: Thinking Like a Millionaire - 02/13/09 07:34 PM
"I would LOVE to win a million dollars!" How many of you have ever said that? I'm going to go out on a limb and guess EVERYONE who is reading this. Here's another question: how many of you, while browsing through home listings, have ever looked at a million dollar home and said to yourself, "I would LOVE to own a home like that"? Probably the majority of you, right? I know I have said that MANY times.
So if we all want to be "millionaires", why do so many of us settle for less? Don't get me wrong, I don't believe … (0 comments)

nashville: I'm Really not THAT quiet.... - 02/06/09 08:33 AM
People who don't know me well often comment on what a quiet person I am, which is funny to me because I usually feel like I talk too much. But it made me stop and think, I guess in new situations I am fairly quiet. Not because I'm shy or afraid, but because I like to observe the people and situations around me.
This is one thing that has made me such an effective consultant in real estate. When I'm with a client, I don't do a lot of talking at first. I listen to what they have to say. If we're doing a walk-through, I watch reactions, … (0 comments)

nashville: The Best Raw Fish in Nashville!!! - 02/05/09 08:34 AM
Before I moved to Nashville I had never before tried sushi. For one, we didn't have a sushi place where I came from. For another, the idea of putting raw fish into my mouth was anything but appetizing. However, some friends of mine, who were frequent visitors to a trendy little place downtown called Virago, invited me to try it out. I told them I didn't think I would like it so they persueded me to at least come have a drink with them there. So I went.....but I didn't try any of the food. I just had a drink. This became sort … (0 comments)

nashville: To a New Beginning! - 01/20/09 08:54 AM
Our economy has been in such a state of chaos for the past few months that I'm really excited about today's inauguration. Although I know it will take time and effort, I have high hopes that the changes about to take place in our country will be positive and will only move us in the right direction to regain our stability and reputation as being the "beacon of hope" that has been spoken of in this past election.
I feel privileged to witness such a historic event (even if it is from a distance here in Nashville). Just thinking about it … (0 comments)

nashville: The Deal or No Deal Syndrome - 01/14/09 02:59 PM
You've been diligently searching for that perfect home. Hours have been spent on the internet looking at picture after picture and description after description. You and your agent have walked into many homes that you felt might be "it" only to walk right back out because none of them were quite what you expected. You feel as if you're never going to find the house of your dreams, but then, it happens. That beam of light (along with the sounds of the heavenly choir) shoots from the sky, shining its rays onto this beautiful 2 story, 4 bedroom/2.5 bath brick home. … (0 comments)

nashville: 5 tips to Winterizing a Southern Home - 01/06/09 08:50 AM
Compared to some of the states up north, Tennessee doesn't have a lot of cold winter weather to speak of. We don't have blizzards, if it snows it usually melts off the next day, and nobody I know (who is native to the south) has ever owned a snow shovel. However, despite our mild weather, there are 5 important things home owners should do to "winterize" their homes.
Make sure hoses are disconnected from outdoor faucets - this is one of the most important things to remember. Although we don't get a lot of freezing temperatures, we do have enough … (1 comments)

nashville: Home Made Holiday Ornament... - 12/14/08 09:03 AM
If you're looking for a fun craft to make for the holidays try this cinnamon scented holiday ornament:
Take a small amount of applesauce and add cinnamon spice to it until it has the consistency of a molding clay. Divide into portions and shape it into your favorite holiday figure (snowman, snowflake, Santa if you're really good :)
Allow to dry.
If you plan to hang it on your tree simply make a small hole before it dries to thread a string through. Not only is it a fun decoration but it smells good too [;)]
This is great a great craft … (0 comments)

nashville: Jump Off That Fence!!!! - 12/12/08 12:09 PM
It's been a very long time since I blogged last. Life has been so hectic as I'm sure it has been for all of you. Between work, family, the band and just the general craziness of the holidays the last thing I want to do when I get home is get back on the computer and try to hold a train of thought long enough to complete a sentence; however, I need to get back into the swing of things.
Besides, I HAD to write and remind everyone about the amazingly low interest rate opportunities there are right now. If … (0 comments)

nashville: But I'm not a cheerleader... - 10/09/08 07:04 PM
All of my life, I have (for the most part) been a Positive Patty. No, I was never a cheerleader, but I always tried to look on the bright side of things. The glass was always half full. I tried my best to stay away from the Negative Nancy's of the world, because I realized at a young age that negativity tends to overpower positivity (not really a word but it fits). I always used to wonder WHY adults seemed so pessimistic and downright bitter about following your dreams.
If you asked a Negative Nancy why she was so down on … (0 comments)

nashville: Red Light Specials Everywhere!!! - 10/08/08 08:17 AM
Thinking about buying a home but not sure if this is a good time? Consider this: 1. Home prices are down
2. Interest rates are the lowest they’ve been in a long time (as low as 5.5% today)
3. The $7500 tax credit is a once in a lifetime opportunity and won’t last forever. Don’t miss it! Chance of these conditions happening all at the same time is UNHEARD of! Dave Ramsey said on the Bill O'Reilly Show, “now is the absolute best time to be buying a house. I would be gobbling them up!” Many people are already … (0 comments)

Just a quick update on the Bellevue Mall redevelopment proposal:Metro Council has agreed to the proposal of putting the Bellevue Public Library in the newly renovated Bellevue Mall. Foursquare Properties is now able to move forward to the next phase of redevelopment. This is a huge triumph for the Bellevue Community.

nashville: Will You LOVE the Loveless?!?! - 08/09/08 08:52 PM
If you like to eat, and if you like visiting well kept little "secrets" that are off the beaten path, then there is no doubt you will LOVE the Loveless. The Loveless Cafe was opened in 1951 by Lon and Annie Loveless when they started serving their well known fried chicken and homemade biscuits right out of the front door to travelers on US Highway 100. Although this little gem has changed hands over the course of the years and new items have been added to the menu, the secret recipe used to make the original scratch biscuits remains the same. … (0 comments)

nashville: Resurrect the Dead!!! - 08/06/08 07:32 AM
Anyone who lives around the Bellevue, TN area (just west of Nashville) knows that the local mall has seen better days. For the past few years the mall has slowly dwindled to nothing more than a ghost town. It’s time to change all that!
Foursquare Properties out of California bought the property last year and have been making plans to completely renovate the once busy mall. When finished, not only will it be an amazing place to shop, but it will bring over 4,000 new jobs to the Bellevue area.
Foursquare properties had planned on starting the renovations back in February … (0 comments)

nashville: History and Mystery in Nashville, TN - 06/12/08 01:52 PM
If you are getting ready to move to Nashville (or if you already live here), chances are pretty good that you are a musician. The majority of people I meet here are involved with the music industry in some way or another, whether in a band or in the business aspect of the industry. That’s what I moved here for! However, even if you are not a musician, the nostalgia of the music scene here in Nashville is enough to inspire you to occasionally pull out your dusty guitar or your old records of The Castle Recording Studio. When you drive … (2 comments)
